Doctor Who beyond the TV screen
Format: Panel
18 Aug 2019, Sunday 10:00 – 10:50, Liffey Hall-2 (CCD)
We see a lot of programme items that talk about Doctor Who as a TV series, the actors, the stories, etc. However, we don’t see as many items about Doctor Who beyond the TV. How has the Doctor’s reach permeated print? Books? Gaming? Radio plays? …and why have we never seen a big budget Doctor Who movie in cinemas?
